the song is the song of a man who comes after nice nights with alc and friends every day early in the morning at home, so he can hear the first tram and so on... he hopes that he is able to do it not so but he know that he can´t do it better (and like it too much to do it better). Sumpfhuhn is a german fun-word for a people who drinks too much alcohol and is too long in pubs or restaurants finding not the right time to go home

First of all, "The Sump Chicken" is a lazy translation. What the Hell? Literally, we're talking "SWAMP chicken," and a quick Google image search will show you pictures of marshbirds. As to the empty "review" by Spuzz ("Didn't understand one word of it"), I agree; from what he(?)has written elsewhere, it seems way beyond Spuzz to understand the significance of a lot of things he's encountered at archive.org. This recording is a peppy novelty number, well-played and in great shape for 1905. It includes an spoken introduction, a great ragtime ensemble that includes a prominent flute and a few percussive bangs on metal for effect. You don't need to understand what it's about and I have no idea where Spazz comes up with "pompous" (or an exclamation mark after German, for that matter.)

Rather pompous song sung by a rather pompous individual, in German! Didn't understand one word of it, but it was fun to listen to I guess.
